0. I know you're busy, Your Majesty, but do you have a [cdb]moment? It's important.
1. If it's really important, I have all the moments in the [cdb]world. What's this about?
2. There are so many possibilities, I can't even guess.
3. As you are well aware, we've cast away Leicester's old [cdb]alliances and begun anew as the Federation.
4. And we've now joined forces with the Empire to [cdb]overthrow the Kingdom and dissolve the Central Church.
5. You're happy with all that...right?
6. Of course, Your Majesty. I would even go so far as to [cdb]say I'm your greatest supporter.
7. I appreciate that. I feel much more secure in my [cdb]position as king knowing I have your support.
8. I am fully confident you'll be able to fulfill our goals [cdb]in this war—but my question concerns what happens [cdb]after that.
9. You say you want to remove the church's authority [cdb]from Fódlan and build society anew.
10. That's right. The systems that currently bind Fódlan [cdb]were all created by the church to serve their own [cdb]interests.
11. Now, I won't say they're all bad in and of themselves, [cdb]but ultimately, they exist to maintain the authority of [cdb]the Church of Seiros.
12. And so long as we revere them, Fódlan will never be [cdb]able to move forward. Do you agree?
13. Let me make sure I understand. When this war is [cdb]over, you wish to step back and reevaluate both the [cdb]existing system of nobility and our manner of faith.
14. And you also wish to establish relations with people [cdb]from other lands, and those who follow other faiths. Is that accurate?
15. Exactly—I want to knock down the walls that keep us [cdb]closed in. See, I knew you'd get it.
16. Does this also extend to Fódlan's Throat? Will you [cdb]throw open its gates and look to establish a friendly [cdb]relationship with the Almyrans?
17. Yes, of course. It will depend on how they respond to [cdb]our overtures, but that's what I'm hoping for.
18. And what of House Goneril, a family long seen as [cdb]the enemy of the Almyrans?
19. Would you send its only daughter to form a marital [cdb]bond with the Almyran royal family? Is that a possible [cdb]scenario?
20. Huh? Are we talking about Hilda?
21. Our house has no other daughters.
22. Ah, OK. I see where this is going.
23. Don't worry, Holst. I may be the king of Leicester, [cdb]but I've no interest in also being a royal matchmaker.
24. But what if the next king of Almyra turns out to be a [cdb]kind and decent man? What if Hilda even likes him?
25. Uh, if Hilda wants to marry that hypothetical [cdb]heartthrob, I'm not gonna stop her. Look, what's [cdb]all this really about?
26. Apologies. My imagination ran free for a moment. If that is what Hilda wants, then I will not stand in [cdb]her way either.
27. Your imagination's definitely still running there.
28. I'm just as worried about Hilda's future as I am about Leicester's—maybe even more so.
29. I completely understand, so let me just say this...
30. I believe that both Leicester's and Hilda's futures are [cdb]as bright as they can be.
31. All I ask is that you trust me.
32. I shall take your words firmly to heart.
33. All I ask in return, Your Majesty, is that you continue [cdb]to safeguard my sister no matter what may come.
34. You got it. And, uh, wow. You're really serious about [cdb]this, Holst.
